Payouts
Earnings are paid in dollar stablecoins, to an address you control, once your available balance reaches $5.
Payout rails
Each account is paid on one rail, shown in Settings:
| Rail | Asset | Chain |
|---|---|---|
| Base | USDC (USD Coin) | Base, chain 8453 |
| Robinhood Chain | USDG (Global Dollar) | Robinhood Chain, chain 4663 |
Both are EVM chains, so the same 0x address works on either.
Connect a payout wallet
In the app, open Settings and click Payout wallet. Pick Your Meris wallet (created for you at sign-in if you did not sign in with a wallet), a wallet you already connected, or Connect another wallet (MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet, Rainbow, any browser wallet, or a mobile wallet through WalletConnect). Then sign the short message it shows. Signing proves the address is yours. It sends no transaction and costs nothing.
To change wallets later, do the same again with the new one.
Use a regular wallet you control
Smart-contract wallets (such as Base Account or Safe) are not supported: their address can differ from one chain to another, and payouts go out on both Base and Robinhood Chain. Exchange deposit addresses are not supported either. Payouts cannot be reversed.
Withdraw
Click Withdraw on the Overview or in Settings. One withdrawal sends your available balance up to $50; withdraw again for the rest. The request appears in Payout history as Processing.
Withdrawals are checked and sent within 48 hours. Once sent, the entry turns to Sent with a link to the transaction on the chain's block explorer.
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Processing | Requested, waiting to be sent. The amount is no longer in your available balance. |
| Sent | Paid. The transaction hash links to the block explorer. |
| Returned | Not sent, for example because of a problem with the address. The amount goes back to your available balance. |
